A Rare Opportunity in the Shoreline's Most Coveted Community: Dune Acres is the most sought-after residential destination along the Indiana Dunes shoreline.

Homes in the community change hands infrequently, and it's rare when one is listed publicly. This stately colonial is coming soon. Set on a quiet spur of Crest Drive, shared with just five other homes, it's a short stroll to the secluded beach, and a long way from the world outside Dune Acres. The home fully embraces its wooded setting: three-quarters of an acre, sloping into a natural ravine, bordered by undisturbed town parkland. Foxes and wild turkeys are commonly sighted. Seasonal visitors include flocks of Sandhill cranes, migrating warblers, and the occasional owl. The home is skillfully sited to engage its ravined landscape -- and has been selectively enhanced by the current owners to deepen that connection while leaving ample room for the next chapter. More than 2,500 finished square feet. New windows bring a retreat-like quality to the principal rooms. Finely finished oak floors ground the primary level, and carry you naturally to the second. Three bedrooms. Two fireplaces. An updated kitchen. Multiple living areas, including a screened porch that draws the surrounding woodland into the home. The expansive primary suite is a destination. Its spa-like bath -- with soaking tub, glass-walled shower, and gracious windows that open the room fully to the wooded ravine. Dune Acres is secured with 24/7 guarded entry and security cameras. Bounded by Indiana Dunes National Park, the town is among the most ecologically significant addresses in North America -- home to Cowles Bog, miles of hiking trails, more than 200 acres of town-owned parkland, and perhaps the finest stretch of sand along the shoreline. The town offers tennis and pickleball courts, a children's playground, numerous beach access points, and the historic clubhouse and grounds, offering breathtaking views of Lake Michigan.
